Hello members,
Provincial elections are rapidly approaching for both BC and Saskatchewan. As Steelworkers we understand the importance of having the right people in government to keep workers rights top of mind. Elections matter and Steelworkers involvement can make a difference.
We are encouraging members to get involved and become politically active or even refresh your campaigning skills by participating in this customized training. The course raises awareness about the importance of politics in our daily lives, builds support for Steelworker campaigns, and identifies ways Steelworkers can take political action to elect more progressive candidates. Sessions will be full days, including evening work and volunteering. B.C. participants are expected to participate over the weekend.
Here are the upcoming training sessions:
